They Want to Repeal Stand-Your-Ground Law!

With Governor Eric Greitens’ resignation, the left’s war against President Trump, and the media’s overt cheerleading for the gun-grabbers to sweep to victory in November, it’s looking more and more like our backs are against the wall this election year.

BILLIONAIRE anti-gun activist Michael Bloomberg and his anti-gun allies are betting big that Missouri is ripe for a takeover.

If he gets his way, BOTH Stand-Your-Ground and Constitutional Carry will be on the chopping block next session.

That’s why I’m counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

Will you please sign the petition that we have prepared for you? More on that below.

As you’ll see, this petition insists that ALL of your candidates for the Missouri House and Senate pledge to DEFEND Constitutional Carry and Stand-Your-Ground as written.

Without your action, I’m worried Missouri could be staring straight at a gun control DISASTER.

Earlier this year, we watched 10,000 anti-gun protesters show up in Saint Louis, marching in support of the most draconian gun bans and confiscations you can dream up.

Kansas City Mayor Sly James is blaming his city’s crime problem on the Second Amendment, calling for more gun control.

Saint Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson has even called for the outright CONFISCATION of AR-15s and hundreds of similar firearms!

Their chorus is being echoed on a daily basis by gun-grabbers in our statewide media.

And at the very top of the gun-grabbers’ list are the major pro-gun reforms you and I passed into law over Governor Jay Nixon’s veto in late 2016.

Now, under Missouri Law, Second Amendment supporters all over our state enjoy:

1) THE RIGHT TO STAND-YOUR-GROUND.

In the event of a criminal attack, no longer do Missouri gun owners have to worry about proving to a judge they attempted to retreat before using their firearms in self-defense.

As any self-defense expert will tell you, the LAST thing you want to be thinking about when you and your loved ones’ lives are on the line is a court case.

Under Missouri’s Stand-Your-Ground Law, if you’re legitimately in danger, you’re empowered to use deadly force to defend it — without worrying about what some anti-gun prosecutor or judge might say.

2) THE RIGHT TO FULLY EXERCISE YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT FREEDOMS — WITHOUT HAVING YOUR NAME ADDED TO A GOVERNMENT DATABASE.

Under Constitutional Carry, if you’re legal to own a gun, you’re legal to carry it concealed to protect yourself and your family.

That means no filling out paperwork, no dealing with bureaucratic rigmarole, no paying expensive fees and no asking for permission just to exercise your basic rights.

But perhaps most importantly, it means not worrying about the next time a Missouri government agency is going to hand your name to an anti-gun President — like when the Missouri Highway Patrol handed a list of our state’s concealed carry permit holders to the Obama administration!

Gun-grabbers want BOTH of these reforms wiped off the books.

Sadly, they might not even need a complete legislative takeover to do it!

Many times, after legislators pass a solid bill like Constitutional Carry/Stand-Your-Ground, they start to get nervous . . .

They suddenly feel like they need to make up for it by passing a bad one “to look reasonable to the voters.”

A bad result in November is going to convince many of our former “friends” that gun control is the wave of the future.

The good news is, election time — when they’re out desperately seeking votes — is when legislators tend to listen best to the folks back home.

When they’re safely back in Jefferson City, media elites and the slick lobbyists armed with fat checks often have their ear, and it takes an overwhelming grassroots FORCE to ensure our voices are heard.

LOCAL / MUNICIPAL UPDATES

As we’re been warning you for some time, St. Louis Alderwoman Lyda Krewson is working to pass legislation to ban virtually all semi-automatic firearms in St. Louis! What’s more, the bill, BB195, has been placed into the Public Safety Committee for further consideration — and that committee meets tomorrow morning at 10:00 am! That’s why I need you to contact the members of the Public Safety Committee right way, letting
